Comments:
ZC3 may be a tumour requiring protein (TRP), since it undergoes fewer mutations than the typical protein in cancer cells.  
 
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Classical Hodgkin lymphomas (%CFC= +64, p<0.013); Large B-cell lymphomas (%CFC= +67, p<0.024); Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) (%CFC= -49, p<0.011); Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +90, p<0.051); and Skin melanomas - malignant (%CFC= -57, p<0.045).
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.04 % in 24434 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is -41 % lower than the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.23 % in 1052 large intestine cancers tested; 0.22 % in 805 skin cancers tested; 0.15 % in 602 endometrium cancers tested; 0.15 % in 555 stomach cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: V298G (5).
Comments:
Only 5 deletions, 2 insertions and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
